"They [the children] seek shelter under park benches and in damp hospital basements and then journey back to their homes in the morning and they do this every single day of their childhood. Unfortunately, the consequences of staying are much worse; if found by the LRA they are forced to kill everyone in their own family before being beaten into joining the army who is constantly in rebellion against the Ugandan government in an effort to create an ultimate coup that will overthrow it. The LRA is known for their countless acts of human rights violations; in addition to the use of child soldiers (averaging between 8 and 14 years old !), they are accused of mutilation, torture, and massacres of entire villages across Uganda. According to statistics, each year 50,000 children are abducted and forced into war."

Yay, Monday off! That's pretty exciting. Getting to sleep until nine on Monday. I'm happy. I'm so busy it makes my head hurt. >> And I still feel flu-y. I wish I'd just get sick and get it over with. I should be doing AP work, but I'd rather do this for now. And the parental units are out on a last-minute motorcycle ride. No need for them to know I still have stuff to do. :3

I got PSATs next weekend, and I haven't even looked at the little booklet they give you yet. The last time I took them, I scored in the 1800-2100 range (they didn't give me an actual number... ?) so I was pretty excited. I need my GPA to go up... I'm taking all AP courses next year. That will be fun. Maybe I should have taken AP Bio this year instead of Chemistry.... I want to take AP Physics next year, and I think a prerequisite for that class is a B- in Honors Chem. Ah well. I love Physics. I LOVE APUSH. I still have to do that homework...

I hate math. >< Or, more specifically, the math teachers. Except Mr. Mastrogiacomo. I'm gonna see if I can switch into a class of his instead of goddamn Ms. Nicol. Ick. I don't want to have a non-awesome, old Soundwave-of-a-teacherplz. Can you say no personality? I haven't even had her yet, but I saw kids trying to talk to her outside the hall when we were pacing the halls before band practice... Like talking to a wall. A really old wall.

I am 1/5 done with Chapter 4 of Let Tomorrow Wait. ^^;; I have it all in an outline and in my head, but its a matter of having the time and motivation to write it. It's been almost two months now... Starscream is still comatose. Haha.

i am currently sifting through my friends list and have found a lot of journals that haven't updated in months to a year. i'm cutting those journals, yeah.

and i really don't want to do this... but i'm going to have an f-list cut again. why? because, there's a lot of you that i don't really know at all. i read everyone's entries -- and i do respect some of your opinions. but some entries and comments to me have begun to get on my nerves. i'm a patient person (and a pushover, but let's not get to that) and i don't like doing these cuts, but to save myself from hurting anyone else's feelings in the future -- i'm cutting those people from me now.

edit: made the cut.

if you were cut, and can read this -- there may be two reasons why i did this. it's either we've grown apart and have different cliques or interests now (and i feel horrible reading your entries when i know nothing of what you're talking about).

or you and i simply just do not click. forgive me. i have my reasons why i say so. don't bother asking me those reasons, because i'm pretty sure we'd only end up arguing and make each other feel horrible. please only remember this from me -- you are a wonderful person but you and i just don't click as well. i'm sorry.

He's coming back. Whoop-de-damn-doo.

First off, welcome new friends! :3 If you want to learn more about me, I have an INTRODUCTION POST, and I'd also be so very happy if you go check out my CONTACT INFO.

I've noticed that my buddy list on AIM has been growing, but I barely talk to anyone on it. :C I add people but I always feel like I'm interrupting them when I IM them. I always feel so awkward. I really need to change this. I really really really do. I have to think "These are my friends, acquaintances, what have you, and they all deserved to get talked to." I will talk, I will talk, I will talk.

In other news, I think I'm hitting peaces of mind at times. I was very sad and angry a little earlier because my tablet made me go a page when I was working on an almost very done, and then it killed it. I couldn't recover and I am stupid and I don't really PrtScr when I oekaki because I barely go through complications. Anyway, angry and sad I am, and I go check Facebook and it says AJ Rafael is having a blogcast, so I go watch. And he just talks about these things while singing, and it's just uplifting. He sung a bit of Demi Lovato's "Don't Forget" and pointed out part of the lyrics that were so bittersweet, and he was like "Please read my blog," and I checked out his latest post, and it was just great. It makes me feel a bit more wise from reading it.

8D In other fandom-related news, I'm on issue 7 of 50something of "Deadpool" the solo series. I remember when I couldn't even get page 7 on the first issue, just because of all the Spanish and I just don't have an attention span when there's Spanish on something (luuulz I feel bad about that). I was thinking of marathoning reading DP tomorrow, but I have to work on my art concentration tomorrow. :C Oh well~

Anyway, I saw half of my baby cousins today. C: Paz is still pretty adorable, and Andrew and Alex are so cute, especially Andrew who under his breath sings battle music from Brawl and the Star Wars theme song and Darth Vader's theme song.

IDK I FEEL VERY AT PEACE WITH LIFE ATM.

EVERYONE REMOVED FROM THE F-LIST.

If you are confused why, you may have not noticed that I've moved into a new journal, and I'm using it already -> claircorruption

This is the final entry, now. :---------D

If you read this, if your eyes are passing over this right now, (even if we don't speak often or ever) please post a comment with a COMPLETELY MADE UP AND FICTIONAL memory of you and me.

It can be anything you want - good or bad - BUT IT HAS TO BE FAKE.

When you're finished, post this little paragraph in your LJ and see what your friends come up with.


Also: OH MY GOD, WAAAANT.

( 7, 6, 7, 6,... )

You must watch Tropic Thunder. It's one of the funniest movies ever!

In other news, check out Firass Dirani's Wikipedia page. Apparently, he has a tiny "Mystic Ranger" in his pants. Some grudge against him. Must be someone who hated Mystic Force. heh

Well, I was promising that I won't LJ anymore but I guess I just can't. I was planning that I'll have more time but I guess everything is falling on me. I don't have time to watch doramas this season, I'll save for later. And it's after 2 months. For the anime, there's the most anticipated ヴァンパイア騎士 Guilty and のだめカンタービレ 巴里編.  Well below there's some screencaps from the first ep of Nodame Cantabile Paris Hen.



There's the Tour Eiffel from behind Nodame & Chiaki^^ 




This pic is sooo cuteee!!!! 

The first ep was good. It's more or less the same as the SP of the Live action dorama which was aired the start of this year. Oh, I would have forgot, next week for Bleach, there'll be the Hueno Munco Arc. I was happy that the filler is over!!!!

I have no time to listen to music. However, I've checked the boys' new album MIROTIC. It's really a good album. There are loads of upbeat songs. There's only one song that I don't like in the album, it's the song  무지개 (the seventh track.....it's really not my style of music).

Oh, and some weeks before I was able to watch a korean variety show Family Outing. It's really interesting & I couldn't stop laughing. Although this show is scripted (so do loads of others), I find this show really interesting funny that I'm repeating myself

I'm no more inspired now. I have to get to work now cos I have loads to do...with my dissertation and everything, I wonder if I'll have time. Plus, those lecturers just don't give us a break. THey know we have  dissertation & everything and all they do is to give us loads of assignments. I'm going crazy rite now when I think about it. I don't have time & please just let them be UNDERSTANDING i hope so*guess it'll never happen*


I will write later... I also don't have time to upload some songs, I guess later I'll do this. After exams *fingers crossed, I want to get good results*

**rushes to get to work**

I know... Haitus till the exams are over. But I need a breather.

*screams*
RIGHT NOW, I HAVE AN INSANE URGE TO GOBBLE DOWN MY ECONOMICS NOTES SO THAT I WILL CHOKE TO DEATH AND SO, NEED NOT GO THROUGH THE SUPERFLUOUS TORTURE OF SITTING FOR 3 BLOODY HOURS CURSING MYSELF STUPID COME NOVEMBER 12TH.

*breathes*
Ahhh... I feel a hell lot better.
-

On to policies... that come with all sorts of faults.
(Gawd. Why bother man?!?)

I should go biking tomorrow. Before it heats up to 90 degrees again. Seriously, must that heating and cooling always PEAK on my meet days?

Perhaps, what I should keep in mind for the future, is to take my glasses wherever I go:
"I can't read the lyrics!"
"Do you need me to move the chair closer?"
"Wait. The words are going too fast. -pause- What the HELL is this song about? -mumbling- Raping the women and wasting the men?"
"Interesting."
"Run to the hills?"
"'Cuz they saw your face, I bet."

Especially when playing Rock Band, as to preclude the event that someone suggests playing the "Impossible" song and you happen to be on mike and are unable to sing without falling over on your side, laughing because some idiot is making you laugh during your verses, and the game says "Right on!" Nor have I ever heard of anyone getting a cramp in their leg while playing drums. Especially playing drums in Learn to Fly, on easy, in Rock Band.

Lesson learned? Never make a football player sing something out of his vocal range.

Dude. "Young Avengers" is really cute. Everyone's fun. I hope no one dies. I think I'm asking too much from the last sentence. I hate "Civil War". Wiccan and Hulking are major insane love. Speed is major love too. And so is Cassie and Eli and Kate and Vision. :\ No dying plz. Hulking's fem face bothered me for a bit, but now it's all chill. I also hate full universe stories. :C They can go suck it.

I really should catch up to "Deadpool". D: Why must there be like 50ish issues that I need to read still? I really need to catch up soon.

There's really nothing new going on~ Long weekend is long and I just hung out with one of my b-fries who's out of state. C: He's such a cool kid, he let me borrow his "Fire Emblem" game since my copy is MIA and he gave me an SP charger. I'm just very happy.

Tomorrow...I catch up to other things. And listen to the leaked "High School Musical 3" soundtrack. 8D Yes, me = dorkwad.

SATURDAY NIGHT FEVER FRIENDING MEME!

Yay for long weekends!

All the roomies are out and about and my main job for this weekend is to clean and to finally decorate my room.  House is already up on my door, but that doesn't count.

Went to the club last night.  I'm so over it.

Playing old jams on the computer.  Brings back bittersweet memories.

hm.
